NFC Wild-Card Playoffs: Green Bay Packers vs Arizona Cardinals

The two team’s recent match in the final week of the regular season went to Green Bay with a score of 33-7. Arizona coach Ken Wisenhunt, barely played his squad’s starters in that game while Mike McCarthy, Green Bay’s head coach, treated it as a regular game beating the defending NFC champions.

It’s the moment of truth for both teams. One loss means the off-season, while a victory puts them much closer to Super Bowl. The winner of this game will play at New Orleans on Jan. 16 for the Divisional round.

The game is scheduled at 4:40 p.m. ET at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
